Eric
Wilson

Eric has been intrigued by design ever since he was young, drawing cars and designing modifications which would allow them to drive and fly anywhere. This passion for design progressed to fashion design, Initially simple enough for his mum to construct, then becoming more complex requiring a professional seamster. In 2017 Eric moved to Finland and enrolled in a 2 year textile course which included 8 weeks of pattern making and sewing. During this 8 week period he became fascinated with pattern making and garment construction, something he continued to pursue.  After working in Finland for a small independent label, SAAGA Design, plus continuing his experience in alterations and couture garments on the side he returned to Australia with a desire to study design further. Studying at the Whitehouse Institute of Design, Australia Eric has developed a broad range of skills ranging from practical ready-to-wear garments to multi-use red carpet attire. His passion lies in creating contemporary, high quality garments for special events and occasions. Inspired by what he sees around him, Eric draws inspiration from nature, architecture and what’s on the couture runways presently and in the past. Eric sees the human form as a blank canvas, fabrics as paint, design work as painting and finished garments as artworks.
